Lemon Mini Cakes
Description
Lemon Mini Cakes feature turmeric flour blended with butter and sugar, whisked with eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and zest to create a smooth, homogeneous batter. Baking powder and baking soda provide leavening, while a pinch of salt balances the flavors. After pouring into paper cups placed in muffin molds, the tops are sprinkled with brown sugar to add a crisp texture when baked.
Baked at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, these mini cakes develop a light crumb and delicate lemon aroma. The turmeric adds subtle earthiness and color without overwhelming the citrus notes.
These cakes make convenient portions for snacks or desserts, easy to serve individually. They pair well with tea or coffee and can be dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
If a muffin mold isn't available, aluminum molds lined with paper cups can be used effectively to hold the batter during baking.
Aluminum molds lined with paper cups can substitute for a muffin mold when baking these mini cakes.
